Puppet!!!!

My Dad lives in East LA, so I spent alot of time in Boyle Heights growing up. Their is a tremendous amount of culture and history in this city. I became a big fan of Chicano movies. Some of my favorites include Blood in Blood Out and American Me. So it was a big surprise for me one day last year, when I walked into Frank and Sons and saw Danny De La Paz signing autographs. For those of you who do not follow Chicano cinema, you probably might not know who he is, but for me this was huge. Danny portrayed two major roles in two pretty influential films. He played "Puppet" in American Me and he was the star in the movie Boulevard Nights. Frank and Sons is one of my favorite spots to go to for my Autograph needs (along with Michaels). And what a deal I got, for only 20 bucks I got to meet Danny and got a 16x20 movie poster of American Me. This is going to be a project to try to get the other actors to sign as well. I'm most interested in trying to meet the filmmaker and the star of the film Edward James Olmos. Danny was a great guy. This was a real treasure for my autograph collection.
